Beastman were… animals. At least to most people. Despite their obvious intelligence an human qualities, they were viewed as nothing more than beasts in society’s eyes. And because they were extremely rare, it only added to the mystery and fear clouding around them.
It happened to be a bad day for you. You and your parents had gotten into an awful argument and you ran off into the woods. You don’t know how far you ran or how long you had been crying. All you knew is that your legs gave out and you tumbled down a hill. It was midnight. You were cold, alone, and quite honestly, scared. Curling up within an old hollow tree trunk, you fell asleep from exhaustion.
When you woke up the first thing you noticed was a tail laying on the ground outside your little shelter. Though, you couldn’t see who or what it connected to. Without thinking, you reached out to touch it and it smacked you in the face. You jumped back and a deep, amused laugh sounded from outside
“Are you ready to come out now, herbivore? You can’t hide like a scared little bunny forever.”
